Expanding my social network!

Hi,

I am currently doing some volunteer work here in Nairobi within the Kibera slums and was looking to expand my social network particularly getting more local friends to hang out with when i am not working.

Female preferred but not essential...the only thing required is a good sense of humour

Hello Sarah-Aus

To enlarge your circle of friends, view the Nairobi expat network where you could start to build international contacts.

Regards,

Time: 2:00pm

a)Saturday afternoon(21st April)
b)Sunday after noon(22nd April)

Meeting place:
1)Nakumatt junction

Please pick a day and preffered suggestion.

There is also 'Nairobi Expat Social' (NES).聽 A 'closed group' on Facebook.聽 There are over 1000 members, all expats.聽 The group specialise in organising social events centred on Nairobi, weekend trips, etc.聽 You have to apply to join, via the link on their page.聽 There is a little bit of 'vetting' of new applicants, as the group is only open to expats, so isn't for you if you want to mix with 'locals'.

Hello,

大咖福利影院 is a website designed for expatriates. You could organise an 大咖福利影院 meet up. You just have to suggest a place, date and time.
